Jordan is already being used a girl's name. Sorry!

Its still a boys name too, Im hoping it WONT go so far that it cant be
used
for boys anymore.

Oh, it will. But not for another generation or so. Just like nowadays,
you
might meet an older gentleman named Tracy or Stacy, but you wouldn't name
a
baby boy that.

Jordan (and Tyler) will be the same way in another 40 or 50 years, when
the
current crop of kindergarteners are older gentlemen. :-)

I have 2 Tylers on my street - both aged 6 - one boy, one girl. Go figure.
The only Jordans I know are boys - so far.

Or wait, did you mean Prince Charles' son is actually
named "Henry"?
(Light goes on - silly me). Here, I looked it up: "Henry
Charles
Albert David". Nonetheless, he goes by Harry (at least in
public),
so it isn't a "common name", it's a Prince's nickname.
Good enough
proof for me.

lol yes I meant the Prince not the book Character.
You have to remember though that British society is very
classist and often in the past comon folk would 'try' and
elevate their status is society by naming their child an
upper class name. Then this in turn would become a common
name due to over use. Kind of like the sneeches with stars
story....lol

If I can't be a good example, then I'll just have to be a
horrible warning.

grin I actually read it the same way and was about to issue a call for
reference on where the heck Rowling says Harry's name is Henry, when I
figured out what you meant : )
